Truer words were never spoken. That little slimeball is now embarrassing himself on a global scale.

1. I'd be a bit careful
George Galloway is not just a 'British Lawmaker', he was formerly known as "the M.P. for Baghdad central" and there is recorded footage of him praising Saddam in person. His election involved him switching from his Glasgow seat (which he would have easily lost) to a London seat which has a number of ethnic tensions (which many consider he purposefully exacerbated).

Personally, I'd never invoke him as an ally, and I can imagine that this will play wonderfully on U.S. television in the Senator's favour.

2. Oh nooooooo
I hate Coleman, that sleazy piece of crap. That's all we need is him looking good in comparison to Galloway. Shoot shoot shoot.

3. In the Strib's article about this
it said Galloway called Coleman's pane a "lickspittle Republican committee, acting on the wishes of George Bush."

In the print edition there was a sidebar that defined "lickspittle" this way:

Webster's Internation Dictionary, Second Edition, Unabridged defines lickspittle as a verb meaning "to flatter or toady to serviley".

The noun licksplit means "an abject parasite or toady".


Well, Galloway pretty much nailed the weasel with that one. I vote we start calling him Senator Licksplit.

Later, in the article it did mention that a spokesman for Normie said they would not "dignify" the reference to McCarthy or lickspit with a response.
